There was also a shooting about five miles away from me. A four year old was killed. This was not related to the police like the Baton Rouge and MN shootings, but I think the victims were also Persons of color.

David was (is) one of what we called "The Bristol Royalty." first guy in our group to settle down with a "norm" from one of the county schools.

I didn't know J well, because they got together well after I fled town for good (I thought). But I remember the wedding. I remember running into them both in Walmart right after I got divorced and moved in with Granma and Grandpa. She was pregnant with Baby 2 and so happy. So radiant.

Oh God, I'm so sorry!!! *hugs* And, yeah, all those private gun lovers need to be put in one big ghetto and then let evolution and extinction take its course :-(

In our town this week we had a woman attack a 6-year-old with a kitchen knife. It's horrible, the kid is still not out of danger, but at times like this I think at least the mad woman didn't have access to guns, ever.
